Samuel Sandoval’s Career, What was his profession?

Samuel Sandoval is one of the last surviving Navajo Code Talkers, who used a language-based code to send messages during World War II. Numerous Navajos were chosen to join the U.S. Marine Corps as code talkers from the sizable Navajo Nation. Only three people—Peter MacDonald, John Kinsel Sr., and Thomas H. Begay—remain alive today.

Every Marine attack in the Pacific was assisted by the Code Talkers, who sent hundreds of signals without error about Japanese troop movements, combat strategies, and other communications vital to the outcome of the war. The Navajo language-based code baffled Japanese military cryptographers and is credited with aiding American victory in the war.

He assisted in enlisting additional Navajo students from the school to work as Code Talkers, adding to the vocabulary and alphabet that the first group of 29 Navajos established. Sandoval was discharged with distinction in 1946 after serving in five combat deployments. The Code Talkers were forbidden from talking about their jobs both during the war and after their purpose was made public in 1968.
